Hmmmmm.....could be that:

Your hypodermical spherical neminestimeral obitular reman-a-tron has quadraplated its munomulator to the power of 78^3 while in doing so manipulating the feedback from the quasmi-nomical biodualtor in the reverse cycloptic motion in which the cereb-o-matic fuses its cy-chim-a-trons to the fourth, second and third mes-ma-matic with the completion of seperating Volume III quasmatic fluid with the over-reactive radiation produced from the bowels of the shielded sysmatic biogenetically reproduced wamatriculator fonton-ma-tron.

that cog didn't work 4 me either. the aisettarget thing that you're supossed to place in the .ai file.
I am lost and could care less if someone finds me.

..no
AISetFireTarget is a cog verb, it belongs no where near an ai file..
Do you have the cog properly inserted?

AISetFireTarget() doesn't work on it's own, for some reason. You need a few other functions.

AIClearMode(attacker, 0x3844);
AISetMode(attacker, 0x63B);
AISetInterest(attacker, target); // optional; only in MotS, I believe
AISetFireTarget(attacker, target);
AISetLookPos(attacker, GetThingPos(target)); // optional as well, but I'm not sure

Just play around with adding and removing some of these lines till it works.

Oh, and you forgot a "Return;" at the end of the startup message right before the "END" command. [http://216.105.160.32/html/wink.gif] That's the main reason it doesn't work.

And you forgot the code line after the end of the symbols [http://216.105.160.32/html/smile.gif]
